What do you think about the movement to ban certain books from high school curriculum and libraries?

@ForumArcade

I think it can be approached as an economics issue. If the books are not particularly good or can't find an audience in schools, then the school libraries won't keep them. But if children are already seeking out to read them, then they obviously possess some meaningful interest to that demographic, and the notion of banning them to prevent those ideas from reaching young minds seems an exercise in futility. Ironically, the same political forces arguing for this limitation on the dissemination of thoughts and ideas are the same forces that frequently decry what they perceive as violations of free speech and free expression, AND that ostensibly favour a free and unregulated economic system driven by the fundamental forces of supply and demand.

One of the positive things of living in the Information Age is that if someone wants a banned book they can usually find it. Before, if a book was forbidden to local libraries and bookstores refused to carry it (or were intimidated into not carrying it), there was somewhere between jack and shit that could be done to get it by most folks. What are you going to do, take time away from the rest of your life to travel two states over for novel? That's an inconvenient expense even after the mass adoption of the automobile, and impossible for most teens; and a hundred years ago no one was going to do that for a single copy of a recently written book. (Though I wager there were some "black market" shops that carried banned books all the same.)

And banning books is all too often a political endorsement for candidates in certain voting districts.

I don't think Nicole Cardoza summarized the conservative viewpoint in good faith here, she didn't acknowledge the possibility that there might be genuinely inappropriate depictions of sex or violence within any of these texts and I don't think them having a marginalized author should give them carte blanche to write whatever they want and have it taught in schools. I agree with the idea that students should be faced with hard ideas like the history of racism and prejudice within this country but that doesn't mean I think every school should show graphic footage of Rodney King being beaten to death to kids. I think the banning of any books from libraries is a step too far from any political viewpoint, conservative or progressive. Classes and their curriculum should be led by the teachers and their expertise but to ban lgbtq+ literature or books exploring different political viewpoints from school libraries is too far and that's where I draw the line since technically kids could go online and find a pdf but I'd rather have it be more accessible for them to explore on their own terms away from the judgement of their parents, communities or even classmates.

Thanks for watching and leaving this comment. You bring up some really good points! In the video, we did try to represent the valid concerns of many parents that they want the right to protest when they feel books their kids are reading for school are too sexually graphic or contain violence that isn’t age-appropriate. Our main point is that politically motivated legislation to BAN books is deeply problematic - but there SHOULD be an opportunity for meaningful debate and discussion about what kinds of content belong in classrooms and school libraries. Cutting off access to books is never going to be in the best interest of young people, especially those who rarely see their own experience represented in the books they read in school. But yes - we agree 100% that we should presume trust in teachers’ expertise when it comes to deciding what content is most relevant and appropriate for their students. In the words of @vlogbrothers Hank Green, "Efforts to restrict stories are often efforts to restrict empathy." We recommend his video on this topic: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6aHj5ZvlZifhpc.html

If schools were pushing books that made claims such as racism never existed and explicitly taught there are only two genders pushback would be understandable. The same pushback is understandable if books are teaching we are all racist and must be anti-racist or there are limitless genders. Ideology tends to move toward extremes, and parents will understandably oppose indoctrination into certain schools of thought. Teach academia not activism.

Book banning/burning is a direct violation of freedom of speech and should not be allowed. Period. If you have a problem with a book, don't read it. If someone else wants to read it, your child or not, you don't have the right to stop them. That child is a human. It's own human with it's own thoughts and feelings and desires. Start respecting your kids or you'll be sorry once it's time for them to take care of you in turn. *Children are human too.* It'd be great if we started a hashtag called that. #childrenarehumantoo (if there's not one already. I don't do twitter which is where I know the hashtag thing originates from) Make it a place for children of all ages to be heard and seen and respected as the smoll humans they are.

Books that are banned usually have the best information and knowledge, but of course, these books will always face criticism because of the ignorance of society who are afraid to question the norm.

This is, of course, horrible, and something that everyone should be vigilant and vocal in opposing and denouncing. But if you are from another country. Know that you still have the freedom to buy them in stores. Unlike many populations with no such freedom.

No one reviewed the books coming in as the procurement contracts just continue from year to year. In a regular public library the librarian may order books according to popularity, necessity of content, and they can avoid unnecessary books.
